Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

A NEW range of perfumes, aimed specifically at the under-25 and teenage market, has been launched in France, Switzerland and Belgium. The fragrances come in kitschy, flask-shaped bottles and include Savage Vanilla (based on a scent apparently worn by Masai warriors) and Rock Water, which smells like Coca-Cola. The bottle for the latter is marked: 'This is a perfume, don't drink it.' There are also three unisex scents.

The brand, Un Monde Nouveau, backed by Clarins, is sold in Monoprix chain stores. There are plans to launch in the United States in May. British teenagers must be deemed too sophisticated: there are no plans at present to bring Savage Vanilla or Rock Water here.
